Burn out - These people came out of the gate too strong in the church. They showed up, got excited, and signed up for everything. They got so busy doing church they failed to enjoy being the church.
Injury - People inside the church can be cruel. These people experienced some of those people and they couldn't get over it.
Distractions - These people got distracted by seemingly good things. Over time, their lifestyle of attending becomes the habit of not attending.
Life change - These people had a lifestyle change, such as divorce or re-marriage, or they move to a new community and never connect with a church.
Mistakes - These people messed up?they made a mistake and the place that should dispense grace appears to refuse it. Many times this is more perception than reality and based on the way a person feels about themselves, but sadly sometimes it is reality.
Power struggle - These people had an agenda and when it wasn't met and when they couldn't overpower the system, they left.
Immaturity - These people never grew spiritually; there was never any depth to their faith, so church soon became a chore rather than a joy.
